Soooo this is gonna be a sort of large themed post (I thought it best to keep this condensed.)
I am a a fan of a webcomic called Homestuck people may or may not know it, however despite it being a webcomic, MUSIC HAS A HUGE DEAL WITH IT! Much of it composed by many different people over the years (there is no set composer for homestuck) and this expands outside of the actual comic (which is filled with music, animations and even interactive RPG like parts....) to fans making their own fantastic musical works.
So without going on about the comic I will go on about some of the music...of which there is alot. I will keep it to just the music and no extra animations just the noises speakers makes towards your phono receptors on the side of your head.
So these are some of the choice tunes I HAVE TO KEEP LISTENING TO and could not get enough of once I heard them for the first time.
Alot of it is based on 16bit or so music with many other interesting tunes in many a genre.
This was a tune that hut me early and made me know I was in for a good time.
This track just had me bouncing with it from the moment it started and it never leaves my mind unless I play it...in which case it is now in my ears for a short time.
So this track is what actually got me into Homestuck and I replayed it it a tone of times before I even knew a thing about Homestuck. Friend threw it and the animation that folks made with it and I was entranced (non animated version to keep things simple.)
This is one of those tunes that goes places with many different styles within it.
Descend is so triumphant.
Cascade is another that goes places and really amounts to like 9 songs/styles in one...all great.
This is just a kick ass sort of Dubstep? track.
Then I get into the fans songs which these are the ones I love and listened to 10+ times once I found them.
The bouncy and dark Criminal Criminal.
Phemiec is just so good with her soft voice and gentle tunes while being lyrically melodic.
Followed with this dark meaningful song.
That is just a small sampling of what there is and more so this is the stuff that got me addicted to them.
PPS I forgot this cover of a 1909 Vaudeville song by Eddie Morton I am a member of the midnight crew. Except.....remade into a weird funky post punk version!
